that is probably an exaggemtion. But
the public on this occasion were in no

quencc was that the entire lot went at

HOlstein- Friesian Cattle.

MEssRs. EDlToRs.-In sending you d
few facts about Holstein cattle take the
liberty to quote from the excellent prize
essay written by T. NJ Koldyke ofWeid.
UNI Friesland, Holland, and from other
authentic sources. The history of Hol
stein-Friesian cattle (that is now theil
correct name)-dates back more than
two thousand years. They originated in
the low lands of Holland, in the pro-
vinces of Friesland and North Holland.
1t is now pretty well established that
they descended from the native wild cat
tie of Northern Europe called "Auer-
ochs." A German tribe known as Fries
ians" settled in Holland about 20O0 years
ago. owned large herds of these wild cat
tie, which pastured on the rich pasture
of the lowlands in summer. In winter,
when these pasture were flooded the cat
tic and their owners retired to higher
woodlands. Soon after other tribes took
possession fthe the higher lands, leav-
ing lowlands to the Friesians and their
cattle. 1t is is well known they accom-
plished a work which is admired even by
the present generation, with their prim-
tive tools, and implements, throwing up
hills sometimes a mile in circumference
high enough to give a safe retreat from
the water; on these hills they built their
villages and wintered their cattle. They
were compelled to gather hay in the
summer to feed their cattle during the
winter and thus we find, in the begin
ginning of the Christian era, in the
lowland of Holland, cattle sheltered and
fed. By giving this extra care in winter
and the grand pastures during summer
soon so improved their herds that they
greatly eXcelled the cattle of the sur
rounding counties in size and form. AS
soon as Northern Europe emerged from
barbarism Holland became noted for its
cattle and dairy products. And now,
after centuries of careful breeding, we
are shown the black and white cattle,
known as Holstein-Friesian, which is the
best general purpose animal of any breed.
They give the most milk, make the most
cheese, equal if not superior 10 any for
butter, and grow as large, if not larger,
and make as good beef as the Durham or
Herefords We would like to know of
and other breed of cattle that can claim
near so much and back it up with facts.
The following shows what Holstein
cattle can do and are doing. Butter

WrrH all the great advantages

be a slowness on the part of capital
lists to locate. There may be good
reason for this. Our advantages are
known to but few, and those few are
not the ones that are needed. Look
at the plans adopted by all other
places that seek to induce new life
and new departures. Behold the
flaming advertisements distributed
broadcast This is not absolutely
necessary in town that offers so
many facilities But there is need
ed more vim among our capitalists

duce manufacturers to come among

to some two hundred persons, now
stands as reminder of what we once
possessed, but unhappily, cannot
now boast Of. And yet are these
walls to be allowed to remain un-

enough industries to give employ
